Alabama Environmental Management CommissionGovernment

The Alabama Environmental Management Commission (AEMC) is an independent state governing and appellate body responsible for overseeing environmental policy in Alabama, United States. Its primary mandate is to adopt environmental regulations, hear administrative appeals regarding permits and enforcement actions taken by the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM), and select the ADEM Director. It was created in 1982 through the passage of the Alabama Environmental Management Act, which consolidated several previously fragmented state environmental boards and agencies.
